Retrosaria Rosa Pomar - Vovó

Retrosaria Rosa Pomar Vovó is a sport-weight yarn that honors Portuguese tradition, elevating modern crocheting and knitting projects to heirlooms. This 100% fine Portuguese wool, sourced mostly from free-range Campaniça sheep, delivers durability, warmth, and longevity.

Vovó, Portuguese for "Grandma," represents the wisdom of generations who understood that the best yarns work as hard as you do. This 4-ply, non-superwash yarn works well for projects meant for daily wear, from cozy cardigans that layer beautifully through changing seasons to statement sweaters like Caitlin Hunter’s Jupiter Crop, where Vovó's rich color palette becomes colorwork that’s wearable art.

The thoughtful shade range spans from natural, undyed tones that highlight wool in its purest form, to a spectrum of colors that capture Portugal's landscape in every skein. The variety and depth of the color palette is satisfying to those drawn to subtle sophistication of natural wool or the vibrant possibilities of multi-color designs.

Vovó is grown, scoured, milled, and dyed entirely within Portugal using ethical practices that respect both sheep and land.
